We give a systematic account of iterated function systems (IFS) of weak contractions of different types (Browder, Rakotch, topological). We show that the existence of attractors and asymptotically stable invariant measures, and the validity…
For self-similar fractals, the Minkowski content and fractal curvature have been introduced as a suitable limit of the geometric characteristics of its parallel sets, i.e., of uniformly thin coatings of the fractal. For some self-conformal…
In this article, we study the novel concept of non-stationary iterated function systems (IFSs) introduced by Massopust in 2019. At first, using a sequence of different contractive operators, we construct non-stationary $\alpha$-fractal…
In this short note, we merge the areas of hypercomplex algebras with that of fractal interpolation and approximation. The outcome is a new holistic methodology that allows the modelling of phenomena exhibiting a complex self-referential…
We investigate the use of iterated function system (IFS) models for data analysis. An IFS is a discrete dynamical system in which each time step corresponds to the application of one of a finite collection of maps. The maps, which represent…
Our first experience of dimension typically comes in the intuitive Euclidean sense: a line is one dimensional, a plane is two-dimensional, and a volume is three-dimensional. However, following the work of Mandelbrot \cite{mandelbrot},…
Space-based direct imaging provides prospects for detection and spectral characterization of exoplanets at optical and near-infrared wavelengths. Integral field spectrographs (IFS) have been historically baselined for these mission…
For directed graph iterated function systems (IFSs) defined on R, we prove that a class of 2-vertex directed graph IFSs have attractors that cannot be the attractors of standard (1-vertex directed graph) IFSs, with or without separation…
Ionization of atoms and molecules in laser fields can lead to various interesting interference structures in the photoelectron spectrum. For the case of a super-intense extreme ultraviolet laser pulse, we identify a novel petal-like…
In the process of measuring objects with local self-similarity, such as satellite images or coastlines, we obtain a data set with both local self-similarity and uncertainty. To better interpolate such data sets, an interpolation function…
This paper is concerned with the inverse obstacle scattering problem with phaseless far-field data at a fixed frequency. The main difficulty of this problem is the so-called translation invariance property of the modulus of the far-field…
We review aspects of an important paper by Robert Strichartz concerning reverse iterated function systems (i.f.s.) and fractal blowups. We compare the invariant sets of reverse i.f.s. with those of more standard i.f.s. and with those of…
The basins of convergence, associated with the roots (attractors) of a complex equation, are revealed in the Hill problem with oblateness and radiation, using a large variety of numerical methods. Three cases are investigated, regarding the…
We consider an optical diffraction grating in which the spatial distribution of open slits forms a fractal set. The Fraunhofer diffraction patterns through the fractal grating are obtained analytically for the simplest triad Cantor type and…
We define a class of random measures, spatially independent martingales, which we view as a natural generalisation of the canonical random discrete set, and which includes as special cases many variants of fractal percolation and Poissonian…
We present a novel feasibility criteria for the finite intersection of convex sets given by inequalities. This criteria allows us to easily assert the feasibility by analyzing the unconstrained minimum of a speci?fic convex function, that…
Tribological phenomena are governed by combined effects of material properties, topology and surface-chemistry. We study the interplay of multiscale surface structures with molecular-scale interactions towards interpreting static frictional…
Within the new concept of a local iterated function system (local IFS), we consider a class of attractors of such IFSs, namely those that are graphs of functions. These new functions are called local fractal functions and they extend and…
Accurate segmentation of long and thin tubular structures is required in a wide variety of areas such as biology, medicine, and remote sensing. The complex topology and geometry of such structures often pose significant technical…
We introduce the novel concept of a non-stationary iterated function system by considering a countable sequence of distinct set-valued maps $\{\mathcal{F}_k\}_{k\in \mathbb{N}}$ where each $\mathcal{F}_k$ maps $\mathcal{H}(X)\to…
